KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Emagene Life, a leading functional medicine and longevity practice in Malaysia, has officially launched the Emagene Life Academy, marking a major milestone in the advancement of functional medicine education in the region. The Academy's launch was celebrated with the successful completion of its inaugural workshop, "Good Gut Gathering," a community-focused event centred on gut health, root-cause medicine, and long-term wellness.
As a recognised leader in Functional Medicine Malaysia, Emagene Life continues to expand its mission beyond clinical care, empowering both practitioners and individuals through education, evidence-based frameworks, and systems-oriented health solutions.
Advancing Functional Medicine and Longevity in Malaysia
Emagene Life is known for its integrative, personalised approach to health optimisation, combining advanced diagnostics, functional medicine principles, and longevity science. By addressing the underlying drivers of chronic health conditions rather than isolated symptoms, Emagene Life supports sustainable outcomes across metabolic, digestive, hormonal, immune, and cognitive systems.
The launch of the Emagene Life Academy represents a strategic extension of this vision, creating a dedicated platform for structured learning, practitioner development, and community education in functional and preventive medicine.
Emagene Life Academy: Official Launch January 2026
Officially launched in January 2026, the Emagene Life Academy is designed as a regional centre for functional medicine education, supporting healthcare professionals, wellness practitioners, and allied health specialists seeking deeper, clinically relevant training.
Aligned with the internationally respected curriculum of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the Emagene Life Academy provides structured functional medicine training, hands-on practical workshops, and continuing professional education. The Academy empowers practitioners to deliver personalised, evidence-based care across diverse clinical and real-world settings, while contextualising global best practices for Asian populations.
The Academy also serves as a collaborative knowledge hub, bringing together clinicians, nutritionists, researchers, and health educators to elevate standards in functional and longevity medicine across the region.
"Good Gut Gathering": A Successful Inaugural Workshop
To mark the Academy's launch, Emagene Life hosted its first flagship educational event, the Good Gut Gathering workshop, which received strong engagement from participants across the health and wellness community.
The workshop focused on the central role of gut health in overall wellbeing, exploring how digestive imbalances can contribute to fatigue, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, skin conditions, and immune challenges. Through a functional medicine lens, attendees gained practical insights into gut-brain connections, microbiome balance, personalised nutrition, and lifestyle strategies that support digestive resilience.
The session was led by Emagene Life's IFM certified practitioners, including Dr. Shirley Koeh and Dr. Irdina, alongside the Emagene medical team. Participants benefited from interactive discussions, real-world clinical case insights, and actionable takeaways designed to translate complex functional medicine concepts into practical, everyday application.
Building a Community Around Root-Cause Medicine
The enthusiastic response to the Good Gut Gathering reflects a growing demand in Malaysia & Asia for integrative, preventive, and personalised healthcare solutions. Through the Emagene Life Academy, Emagene Life aims to cultivate a well-informed community, one that understands health as an interconnected system and actively participates in long-term wellbeing.
Future Academy initiatives will include additional workshops, structured practitioner programmes, and continuing education pathways designed to support both healthcare professionals and health-conscious individuals.
Shaping the Future of Functional Medicine Malaysia
With the official launch of Emagene Life Academy in January 2026, Emagene Life reinforces its leadership position in Functional Medicine Malaysia, bridging clinical excellence, education, and innovation. By equipping practitioners with practical tools and empowering individuals with evidence-based knowledge, Emagene Life continues to shape a future where healthcare is proactive, personalised, and rooted in science.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Picarro, Inc., a global leader in real-time emissions monitoring and advanced gas analysis solutions, today announced the appointment of Haavard Oestensen as Chief Commercial and Product Officer. In this role, Oestensen will lead Picarro's commercial and product strategy in Oil & Gas as the industry undergoes a critical shift — moving from historically passive, episodic emissions and volatile organic compound (VOC) management toward continuous, proactive, technology-led emissions control.
This appointment coincides with the launch of the Picarro Fenceline Solution, marking a major step in Picarro's expansion into the Oil & Gas sector as a stated strategic priority. The solution establishes a new benchmark for real-time perimeter monitoring and emissions intelligence.
"For too long, emissions management across industrial sectors has been reactive, focused on periodic testing, delayed reporting, and post-event remediation," said Alexandre Balkanski, President and CEO of Picarro. "With our Fenceline Solution and our expansion into Oil & Gas, Picarro is helping the industry transition to a proactive model, one driven by continuous measurement, real-time insight, and decisive action. Haavard Oestensen brings to Picarro the commercial and product leadership required to scale this vision globally."
The Picarro Fenceline Solution is built on Picarro's patented Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) technology, delivering unmatched precision-grade measurements with parts-per-trillion sensitivity. This level of accuracy enables operators to detect emissions events early, confidently distinguish signal from noise, and respond with speed and certainty — transforming compliance programs into operational advantage.
"Customers are no longer asking how to measure emissions, they're asking how to prevent exceedances altogether," said Haavard Oestensen, Chief Commercial and Product Officer at Picarro. "Picarro is uniquely positioned to answer that question. We are more than instrumentation. Our solutions combine precision hardware, integrated software, and advanced analytics to deliver real-time insight — from detection through root-cause analysis, mitigation, and proactive prevention. That is how emissions management leadership is built."
Picarro's approach reflects a hardware-enabled software excellence model, where best-in-class measurement is fully integrated with powerful analytics, reporting, and operational workflows. This capability allows customers, particularly in Oil & Gas, to move beyond compliance toward a clear, defensible roadmap for emissions management leadership, reducing risk, maintaining compliance, improving performance, and strengthening trust with regulators and stakeholders.

Picarro is a leading provider of high-precision measurement and monitoring solutions for more than 700 compounds. Combined with advanced analytics and expert services, our offerings deliver trusted, defensible data that helps organizations optimize operations, reduce emissions, simplify regulatory compliance, mitigate risk, and advance scientific research.
